Thank you people for the incredible emails, for the facebook comments and for the words on the street. You let us know what happened at Grassroots during the Saturday dance tent set.  It was hard for us to know how intense the thunder storm was, how people were pouring out of the edges of the tent and dancing in the downpour, the thunder that struck at the crescendo of Find Your Own Way, we saw the sun that came out during Revolution at Hand, but you saw the rainbow that followed.  Again, thank you so much for the gratitude and love - it is the only reason that such an experience is possible.  It was, in every sense of the term, "the perfect storm".

A reflection:

Perfect harmony exists in nature.  Humankind sends its greeting to the sun as if from a foreign land, yet no such separation is ever real.  We all partake in a unified, yet chaotic dance that is eternal and bound to glory, however expressed, each in their own way.  When the veil of separation falls, we see the world for what it is, and in that moment, a familiar feeling overwhelms the mind, the body becomes liquid-like and the soul is allowed to wander from its normal confines.  Some consider this the ultimate destination, a comfortable place to call home.  Supplication received.  A return to the mother.  Yes, home.
